occasion I was accompanied by two colleagues and friends from the UK. Their generosity at picking up the $600 bill for the three of us was ruined by the waiter who sarcastically commented on their 12% tip saying "It's a shame you didn't enjoy your meal". Now, say what you want about $70 tip being too little, too much, or just about right - the wait-jerk deserved avoiding.
Absinthe happens to be a place we drive past a few times each week, so I've had plenty of time during those 14 ensuing years to dwell on that experience. It was therefore with some degree of anticipation that we ventured in there for brunch on Saturday.
Suffice it to say that the experience was top notch, with impeccable food, excellent service and a pleasant ambiance to the place.
At last - perhaps several years after the fact - we've discovered somewhere that rivals Foreign Cinema for a weekend brunch.
